I asked if we have evidence because the author made an interesting point in a recent interview on the "Bankless" podcast:
"When we hear people like Tether saying we're successfully banking the unbanked, you can look at the median transaction over the Tron network, and it's between $100 and $300. If you looked at comparable numbers in the US for credit card transactions, the median transactions is between $40 and $80. And so, do you buy that they're banking the unbanked third world who are moving a lot more money around than people in the US do?"
